Summary
- Citizen debuts its first Tsuyosa x seconde/seconde/ collaboration, a limited edition watch blending humor, art and horology
- The design features a pixelated katana minute hand, vivid blue dial, sword‑slash clasp and a playful caseback message
Citizen has announced its first-ever collaboration with seconde/seconde/, introducing a playful and striking reimagining of the Tsuyosa watch.
For this timepiece, seconde/seconde/ draws inspiration from the origins of the model, specifically the Japanese meaning of the word, which has connotations of power and strength. This theme is applied to the minute, which now takes on the visuals of a pixelated katana sword. This retro video game–style motif slices through the dial’s indices, adding a humorous and symbolic touch. The sword’s hilt and dial are rendered in a vivid blue, while the clasp features engraved sword slashes. On the caseback, a printed message from seconde/seconde/ reads: “Being smaller has never stopped Minutes from slicing Hours into pieces,” reinforcing the watch’s theme of courage and resilience.
Beyond its artistic flourishes, the watch maintains Citizen’s reputation for functional beauty. It features a stainless steel case and bracelet, sapphire glass with a date magnifier, and an exhibition case back showcasing the automatic Cal. 8210 movement. With a 40mm diameter, 11.7mm thickness and a 42-hour power reserve, the model balances practicality with creative storytelling. Packaged in a special edition box designed by seconde/seconde/, the collaboration underscores CITIZEN’s commitment to innovation while celebrating humor, symbolism, and cross-cultural design.
Priced at $495 USD, the Tsuyosa x seconde/seconde/ watch is capped at 3,600 pieces worldwide, available via Citizen.
